Avoid Christmas Rush The Christmas “rush" brings a very old quote to mind: "Neither snow nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." This was said by the Greek historian. Herodotus in the Fifth Century B. C. but it still is true of the postal service. However, our postmaster recently added a thought. "While it is true that bad weather doesn’t stop the mails, it certainly .can slow them down." . He mentioned that planes can’t get off the ground, switches on railroad tracks can freeze up. Trucks must move more slowly and cautiously over highways. And. in many places, mailmen might wish for the warmth of an igloo. Even the impish Mr. Zii’i can't assure next-day deliver) und "W hy,” you may ask, "does the postmaster bring this up?" "Simply to let people know that there . is..a factor that we just can’t control, the weather, the local said. ’lt is impirto.it that people mailing Christmas cards and gifts make every effort to shop early and mail early to assure on-ti-me delivery. Ti is is especially true during the Christmas

Information Is Needed To Buy

Meat is a food for which the demand would seem to be stable. One market operator said. “A woman wants a certain kind of meat at a certain time or she doesn't.” A study by the U. S. Department of Agriculture indicates that the statement is far from accurate. Research of the Department last year showed that newspajver advertising increased the sales of lamb 26 per cent in six cities. This dramatic increase was attained when general advertising was related to the advertising of local merchants. Through general advertising alone, ' the research indicated that the sales of > lamb increased an average of ten per cent. For many retailers, the study only confirmed previous convictions. Grocers have long known that newspaper advertising could move a surplus of ham, turkey, beef or chicken at any appropriate time. Worth Retelling The housewife may be incredulous — but fdod prices, measured by the accurate yardsticks of income and earning power, are cheaper than ever. .Here is the story: At the turn of the century, average pay was a week and about 50 per cent of it went for food. Now the around, $1"" a week, and food takes only 20 per cent of it. Moreover, the figures can’t reflect the vast improvement in the quality and healthfulness of the American diet that has taken over those years, or the enormous increase in the number and variety of food offerings, or the development of Convenience foods which are ready to eat or almost so. or the fact that many foods

rush when an ever increasing avalanche of mail moves through the postal system.” The Post Office Department has several new tools to use in this year’s mail service. The most important is the new Zip Code and transportation-distribution system that came into being with the Zoning Improvement plan (Zip); The local postmaster is urging everyone to use the five digit numbers because in most cases the cod? cuts down the number of times a piece of mail must be handled. This saves time, labor, and money. He suggests that even if you don’t know the code for the addresses of the people to whom you’ll be sending cards ' and gifts, you should use the code on your return address. And you should record the codes from the return addresses of those who are writing to you. Moving the Christmas mail is a hard. I tiring job and the local workers who so diligently during this period deserve all the cooperation they can get. The'postmaster said that shopping early, mailing early and using ZIP codes will really put ZIP into your Christmas mailings .. . and give your mailman a hand too. . ■ <

■ I Department stores know the same can be j accomplished on all kinds of goods. The most significant result of the Department of Agriculture study was to , point up the importance of local selling and cooperation between disributors and merchants. It is not enough to say that “All sales ’ are local.” The national advertiser, as well as the local merchant, should also remember that all sales are made by individual retailers. Even when demand for a product has been created by general advertising, the consumer needs additional information before lie acts. Only the advertising of the individual local retailer answers details on where, how, and when a product may be obtained. No advertising is complete until the consumer has this information. As ' which used to be available only during brief seasons now grace the stores most or ail of the year. This is a credit that must be shared ’•— and there’s plenty of it to go around. The American farmer is the most efficient and productive in the world, and every consumer is in his debt. The processors and packers have played their part, and it is a big one indeed. And. finally, mass distribution, which the chains pioneered in the face of much skepticism long ago. brings our splendid foods, in all their variety, forms and abundance, to the consumer at rock-bottom cost. This is a story’ that deserves telling and retelling.

He will be in charge of all crops and livestock programs as well as farm management work. Jack has made several significant contributions during his six years as youth agent in Kosciusko county. One is in a general improvement of the quality of 4-H livestock project work. The projects that have been produced and exhibited have been constantly upgraded and the success of the 4-H sale has been one of the ' results of the improvement in qual- ! ity.

She is an alcoholic also. He says he doesn’t have to work because he has someone to support him, and when I ask him about our daughter, he says she is my problem . . . not his. I have filed for divorce. Do you think I am doing a wise thing by getting rid of him, or do you think he will ever amount to anything? * Worried Mind Dear Worried: After 16 years, YOU know the facts . . . too well! Why hang . on to firm out more of what you already know. You are doing the wisest thing I know of. 7 Dear Amy: We are two very 16-year-old girls who have been going steadily, not steady, with two 16-year-old boys for about 4 months. We really like these boys but we realize that we are too young to get serious about them. We also realize that it is up to us to “set ■ the pace.” How can we make I them understand how we feel about them without letting them “get carried away?” We know that all we have to say is “NO!” because they respect us; but how can we make them ; see our point of view and that there are other ways of showing 1 that you like someone.

When the ground is frozen, this loss becomes even more serious since shrubs cannot take up water from the soil. The antidesicant spray should be applied to both the top and bottom side of foliage, and not when it is too cold or wet. This film is especially useful on the more tender broadleaved evergreens, such as American holly, Japanese holly, mahonia, and boxwood.

THE I HOOSIER I DAY By FRANK A. WHITE THE BLOOD BATH in the Congo shows the ugly face of communism as it really is. Women were , raped and mowed I down by machine guns, eyes of hundreds of children have been gouged out, missionaries thrown in the crocodile infested streams, all in the drive of communism for world domination. It is nauseating to find Egypt, the Arab countries including "Ghana ; where we have spent millions in fofc. eign aid, condemning the U. S. A and Belgians for the humanitarian airlift that to date has saved some 2,000 lives. In a new height of hypocrisy the Soviet Union has rattled its rockets 1 and not printed a single mention of slaughter of innocents in the Congo. The press is 100 per cent government controled in Red Russia. It certainly did not endear U Thdnt, secretary general of the United Na- : tions, that is in dire financial crisis, to show his anger of the rescue mission of America and Belgium. Fourth District Congressman A. Ross Adair, ranking member of the House Foreign Relations Committee, I has endorsed the US-Belgium rescue ’ mission. I It has been a pain to me to read about the Communist Sonet Union mellowing on atheism and of the peaceful intent of the new rulers of I the Kremlin. There was a lot of ' mushy sentimentality about Nikita Khrushchev when he was kicked out of the Kremlin by the new bosses. There was a segment of America who was entranced at Khrushchev’s clownish ways and his earthy langiuage. 1 The following is a sort of Hoosier | iday farewell to Khrushchev and is based on remarks of U. S. Senator I Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut. Sen- j ator Dodd was executive trial counsel for the USA at the Nuhrenberg 1 war criminal trials. In the Congressional Record. Dodd reported: i In 1930 Dodd records, Khrushchev helped execute a prograi.i of plan-, ned starvation that resulted in the death of five million Ukranians. In 1938 Khrushchev was appointed Red Chief of the Ukraine by Stalin as reward for his ruthless blood letting among his own people. He directed a greater purge. Authorities on Ukranian history and refugees dead areas as soon as they appear in I the spring. Then add a complete fertilizer in late March or April to help damaged shrubs renew their foliage. :■! s.y > ■ J with America s 5 most-wanted cleaner! »•* !

400,000 men, women, and children were murdered under the direct supervision of Khrushchev in a single year. More than 12.000 people were shot in the neck and mowed down by gunfire in the city of Vannista alone. There is complete documentation of this genocide. All too many Americansliave forgotten that Khrushchev was not only the "Hangman of the Ukraine” but also the “Butcher of Hungary”. He ordered the tanks of the Red army against the students there fighting for freedom. He overthrew the legitimate government of Imre Nagy. He invited General Pal Maleter, commanding the freedom fighters under flag of truce to conference. With perfidious promise of safe passage, Maleter was captured and executed. 1 Khrushchev worked overtime ai gainst the/USA in Berlin and around the world. In a futile effort to cover the blood on his own hands he deStalinized Stalin. There are members of the present ruling junta that kicked Khrushchev out and seized control of the Soviet Union who were bloody agents of Stalin in the purges. Imagine the agony of Hoosier parents who have sons or daughters in South East Asia, etnam. and in the Congo? This fiendish image of communism shown in the Congo may become meaningful to readers of this column when their son is called ipto service. - There has always been serious doubt in my mind whether we will not in time become involved in a nuclear war that could kill up to 1400.000 persons in 30 minutes. Surely in time the prayers of the countless victims of atheistic communism will be answered. In our quest for co-existence let’s I not forget that the hands extended by the Kremlin are bloody hands. There is a vast chasm between the savagery of the Congo and the bloodv bosses of the Kremlin and Capital Hill in Washington. Fighting communism is a grim and deadly busi- ' 1 ness. I -r nnr n- - ■
